All questionsOne fixed price up front. Then choose: 50% deposit and 50% on completion, or 12 equal monthly instalments where the first secures your booking.We agree one fixed price up front. Then choose: a 50% deposit and 50% on completion, or 12 equal monthly instalments where the first secures your booking and the other 11 start once the project is complete.
It depends which option you choose. With the deposit option, yes: 50% upfront secures the project, with the balance due on completion. With the 12-month plan, your first instalment secures the booking instead, a smaller amount than a full deposit, and the remaining 11 instalments only start once the project is completed.
We'll always let you know before any change affects the price. If you add scope beyond what was originally agreed, we'll quote that separately rather than silently adjusting what you've already agreed to pay.
The project price is fixed, however you choose to pay it. If you cancel partway through, the outstanding balance of that agreed price becomes payable, whichever payment option you chose. The full cancellation terms are set out in our Terms and Conditions and written into the contract you sign before we start, so nothing about it catches you out later.
Every website we build includes the design, UX, and SEO foundations as part of one process, so you don't need to brief a separate designer or SEO specialist. One team, one project, one price.
Most website projects take 1 to 6 weeks from start to launch, depending on the package. The exact time depends on the scope and what your project needs, and we'll give you a firmer estimate once we've scoped it together.
Launch is the start, not the finish line. If you're paying the build off over 12 months, basic maintenance, basic health checks, and site monitoring are included for that period. After that, or from launch if you settle the build in full, a monthly Care Plan takes over with round-the-clock checks on whether the site is up and fast, certificate tracking, software and content updates, and a monthly refresh of your Google reviews on the site. Prefer to have everything handled from the beginning instead? Our Full Service package bundles hosting, mailboxes, ongoing SEO work, and ongoing updates and maintenance into one monthly price.
Yes. We work with businesses right across South Africa. The whole process runs comfortably online, so where you're based is never a barrier.
